At Xyla, we partner with the NHS, private sector and higher education institutions to offer accessible assessments and evidence-based talking therapies.
We strongly believe in being led by patient choice and accessibility, and therefore offer appointments between 7am – 10pm, 365 days a year. We also offer therapy in over 40 different languages.
The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme began in 2008 and has transformed the treatment of adult anxiety disorders and depression in England. IAPT is widely recognised as the most ambitious programme of talking therapies in the world and in the past year alone more than one million people have accessed IAPT services for help to overcome their depression and anxiety, and better manage their mental health.
During your appointment, the clinician will ask in-depth questions in order for us to best understand your current situation. The clinician will want to get as full a picture as possible to ensure that you get the best and most appropriate form of support.
Following an assessment, your therapist will discuss suitable treatment options with you. You will then be offered treatment with us or your local IAPT service.
We accept referrals directly from our partner IAPT services and universities. Please speak to your local IAPT service or university counselling service about a referral to us.
Most courses of talking therapy are delivered over 6-8 weeks but these do vary based on the specific type of therapy you are receiving.
Your treatment sessions will take place weekly or, occasionally, fortnightly. Please note that your sessions are expected to take place at the same time each week.
Should you need to rearrange your assessment or first treatment session, please contact our office team on 0333 577 3024. Rearranging ongoing sessions is done directly with your therapist.
